@arstechnica actually what I’m seeing here is that it’s not science but journalism about science that’s creating the problem, if there even is one. It sounds like what’s being asked for is that when we present the findings of a study, we should always cite the author as adding, “of course, it’s possible that your aunt’s neighbor’s son’s YouTube channel about UFO sightings might be correct about COVID instead.”
